Abstract: Systems and methods for utilizing intermediate target(s) in connection with computer graphics in a computer system are provided. In various embodiments, intermediate memory buffers in video memory are provided and utilized to allow serialized programs from graphics APIs to support algorithms that exceed the instruction limits of procedural shaders for single programs. The intermediate buffers may also allow sharing of data between programs for other purposes as well, and are atomically accessible. The size of the buffers, i.e., the amount of data stored in the intermediate targets, can be variably set for a varying amount of resolution with respect to the graphics data. In this regard, a single program generates intermediate data, which can then be used, and re-used, by an extension of the same program and/or any number of other programs any number of times as may be desired, enabling considerable flexibility and complexity of shading programs, while maintaining the speed of modern graphics chips.

Abstract: Un gradiomètre de pesanteur est combiné à un système d'isolation activement commandé à deux étages. Ce gradiomètre de pesanteur et ce système d'isolation à deux étages peuvent ensuite être montés dans (ou sur ) un véhicule mobile, un aéronef par exemple. Les inventeurs ont constaté que les accélérations imprimées à un aéronef durant des opérations normales peuvent être séparées par une conception de système en deux régimes relativement distincts du domaine de fréquence. cette invention concerne un premier bâti d'isolation, qui fait partie du système d'isolation, destiné à isoler les accélérations (et les translations résultantes) qui tombent dans un premier des deux régimes de fréquence. Le second bâti d'isolation, qui est monté sur le premier bâti d'isolation, isole des accélérations qui tombent dans le second des deux régimes de fréquence. Un gradiomètre de pesanteur peut ensuite être monté sur ce second bâti d'isolation. Du fait que ce gradiomètre de pesanteur est logé dans ce système d'isolation emboîté (une combinaison du premier et du second bâti d'isolation), il est sensiblement isolé des accélérations auxquelles est soumis le véhicule mobile. Par conséquent, les gradients de pesanteur mesurés par ce gradiomètre de pesanteur sont sensiblement exempts de bruit et offrent une précision jamais obtenue jusqu'à ce jour.

Filed: 1997-03-05
Granted: 2004-07-27
Abstract: In a retrievable packer adapted for service under high temperature and high pressure operating conditions, improved retention of the packer in the wellbore is achieved by use of an inventive slip/wedge system, wherein the cones on the wedges are spaced a progressively slightly greater distance apart from their corresponding slip cones, from the centermost slip cone to the outermost slip cone. This forces the center of the slip to be loaded first. As greater forces are exerted on the wedges from end to end, the wedge will deform slightly and the next cone of the wedge will make contact with its matching portion of slip.  Thereby, as the wedges are loaded higher and higher, more wedge cones come into bearing contact with the slip. Further, a barrel slip is used, to provide a uniform circumferential distribution of forces. This design effectively allows initial setting of the packer with very little slip tooth contact area. This permits the slip to quickly get a good grip into the casing wall. Subsequent higher loading brings more and more slip teeth to bear and prevents overstressing the casing.

The air channel has an inlet end and a discharge end, and a pressurized warm air stream having a relative humidity less than an ambient relative humidity is directed into the inlet end of the air channel such that the warm air stream moves through the sir channel to the discharge end and out to the atmosphere. An apparatus for practicing the invention provides a plenum along the inlet end with plenum outlets to discharge the warm air stream, and cover supports extending out from the plenum to support the cover above the surface. A fabric tube plenum and cover supports provide versatility and portability.
